Reviews for Violin4weddings
Claire was amazing!!!
The perfect accompaniment to your day
Claire stranger-ford
How do we even begin to explain the magical touch you gave our day!!! After 2 gruelling postponements and overall bride & groom experience, the weeks/days leading up to our big day Claire kept me feeling so calm, collected and optimistic that our day would be everything we wished for and more... And wow was she right!! And that's simply talking of her friendly, kind and supportive approach to the booking side of things and well, her playing is a whole other topic...
Everyone sang Claire's praises for how she held herself throughout the entire time she was with us. Her grace, her smiley, warm and welcoming face (mask and all) and her talent just truly completed our big day. Even if there was moments of us being busy with our photographer, videographer or simply just simmering down from our emotional 'I do's' she played as if the entire world was watching and gave it her all. My dad continuously added from time to time how blown away he was with her professionalism, how she held her own and continued to do what she does best no matter how the day unveiled.
But above all, our guests, my father and my husband to be all said that without the emotion the vows brought, or the whole experience itself with all we had gone through as a couple - Just Claire simply playing brought them to tears. Tears of beauty and joy only however.
Claire, you will always hold such a special place in my heart. You helped our day be the day of my dreams and just what I always envisioned. And as you know our story, you know that we are planning an I do Part 2 to celebrate with all those who sadly couldnt be with us due to restrictions - Mainly, my husbands family in Ukraine. So, if you would join us... We wouldnt have any else there with us.
We hope to celebrate our love with you right with us again, you talented lady, you.
Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Don't miss the opportunity to book Claire!
Our only regret is that we didn't get chance to chat to her as we were so busy with photos etc. but I believe some family and friends were able to convey our thoughts on how fantastic she was. We would highly recommend Violin4weddings and Claire – who we’d like to thank once again for being such an important part of our magical, special day!
